History



The first written evidence of Tuczno dates from year 1306. In 1338, Tuczno Castle was erected.
During the middle ages the town was variously controlled by Poland, Pomerania, Brandenburg (Neumark) and the State of the Teutonic Order. From 1466 (Second Peace of Thorn), when it was ceded by the Teutonic Order, Tuczno became definitively part of the Polish Poznań Voivodeship. From 1569 it was part of the Greater Poland province of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
In 1772 it was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland, becoming part of the Netze District, then the Province of West Prussia (Province of Prussia 1829–1878, then West Prussia again). In 1871 Prussia became part of the German Empire. After World War I it was part of the rump of West Prussia which remained with Weimar Germany – Posen-West Prussia – and was incorporated into the Province of Pomerania by the Nazis in 1938. It became part of Poland again in 1945 as part of the Recovered Territories.
